Recursive Self-feedback Procedures for Improving Spontaneous Speech Production in Patients With Chronic Aphasia

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effects of recursive self-feedback procedures on spontaneous speech production in stroke survivors with impaired speech production (aphasia). The main question it aims to answer is: • To what extent can stroke survivors with aphasia use their self-feedback alone to improve their spontaneous speech production? Participants will be engaged in the following activities: * They will perform language and cognitive tasks. * Afterwards, they will receive treatments using tablets and headphones at no cost to them. * The experimental treatments (recursive self-feedback procedures) entails responding to prompts, listening to playbacks of their speech response and attempt to minimize/correct the errors in the next attempt. This process will be repeated multiple times per prompt. * The experimental treatments are two: an adaptive version that adapts the complexity of the treatment prompt and a non-adaptive version that does not adapt task complexity. * Researchers will compare the experimental treatments to see if both have similar effects on improving spontaneous speech production.

Participants
Target number of participants: 45
Treatments
Experimental: Adaptive recursive self-feedback procedure
Using a tablet, participants listen to speech playback of their response to a prompt and self-correct/minimize their speech errors in a subsequent attempt. This process is looped multiple times per prompt. It adapts across narrative prompts with low and high complexities.
Experimental: Non-adaptive recursive self-feedback procedure
Using a tablet, participants listen to speech playback of their response to a prompt and self-correct/minimize their speech errors in a subsequent attempt. This process is looped multiple times per prompt. However, it only uses narrative prompts with high complexity.
